Kilted Ramblings!

danaterrace:

My 4th year film ‘Mirage’ is finally online! Joint project with my partner Iker.  Hope ya’ll enjoy it.

Amazing!  I’m really impressed that not only is it another finished film of high quality, but it’s a whopping 9 minutes long!

danaterrace:

Sorry I’ve been playing OoT ever since thesis finished and I couldn’t resist. I’ll get back to finishing commissions now. 

Love the one of Link and the Mer-girl.  It has a very ‘frozen frame’ feel to it, almost out of a Disney film.

Stop CISPA: Save the Internet from the US

Right now, the US Congress is sneaking in a new law that gives them big brother spy powers over the entire web — and they’re hoping the world won’t notice. We helped stop their Net attack last time, let’s do it again.
Over 100 Members of Congress are backing a bill (CISPA) that would give private companies and the US government the right to spy on any of us at any time for as long as they want without a warrant. This is the third time the US Congress has tried to attack our Internet freedom. But we helped beat SOPA, and PIPA — and now we can beat this new Big Brother law.
Our global outcry has played a leading role in protecting the Internet from governments eager to monitor and control what we do online. Let’s stand together once again — and beat this law for good. Sign the petition then forward to everyone who uses the Internet! [Click]

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. 

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

Hope you like it!

Indeed, there is so much inspiration here it’s hard to contain myself.  I must draw soon, less I explode after exposure to this awesomeness. :)

Melissa Harris-Perry’s open letter to Steubenville survivor

So much respect for that.

Dearest Beloved Girl,

[Text behind reads: Dear Steubenville Survivor]

This is a letter of apology for being an adult who has failed to make the world safe for you.

[YOU SHOULD BE SAFE]

You should be safe, and your vulnerability should not invite assault and attack of your body or your spirit.

[WE HAVE FAILED YOU]

So I’m sorry that we have failed to teach your male peers they have no right to touch you without your consent.

[YOU DEMANDED THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD]

You demanded the right to be heard. You may have lost your voice that night, but you found it again when you told the truth.

Even though you knew, didn’t you? You knew just how relentlessly they would try to silence you?

You knew that neighbors and friends, and even the members of the national media would mourn the loss of your attackers’ football careers more than the loss of your innocence.

[YOU SPOKE OUT ANYWAY]

You spoke for yourself and you spoke for the 44% of rape victims who are under 18, and you spoke for my 14 year old self who still hears that thread in my head, “don’t tell, they won’t believe you.”

[44%]

This is my apology and this is my gratitude saying, I believe you. I believe you are inherently valuable, not as a character in some grotesque news cycle where your assault is all we know, but as a girl.

[I BELIEVE YOU]

With hopes and dreams and ambitions and vulnerabilities and so much more growing up to do. I never need to know your name, but I need you to know you are not alone.

If you ever get down, if you ever wonder how you’re gonna go on, take out this letter because I believe you.

Sincerely Melissa.

Hahaha, is this me Mel?
